Rays and RHP Alex Cobb avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $4 million contract.

It's a well-earned raise for Cobb, who was arbitration-eligible for the first time. He'll enter the 2015 campaign as the Rays' ace after posting a 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 149/47 K/BB ratio over 166 1/3 innings last season. Jan 16 - 1:49 PM

Alex Cobb allowed four runs on 10 hits over six innings in a loss to the Indians in Sunday's season finale.

It certainly wasn't the way Cobb wanted to go out, as his 10 hits allowed tied a season high. Two of those hits left the yard, the first home runs he'd allowed since July 18. It was still a largely positive year for the 26-year-old -- Cobb ends the season 10-9 with a 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 149/47 K/BB ratio over 166 1/3 innings. Barring the unforeseen, he'll enter 2015 as the Rays' ace. Sun, Sep 28, 2014 05:07:00 PM

Alex Cobb suffered his eighth loss of the season after allowing three runs in six innings to the Yankees on Wednesday.

Cobb was coming off of an attempt at a no-hitter in his last start, which also came against the Yankees. This time around, the right-hander allowed four hits and walked three while striking out three. Cobb continues to pitch well for the Rays, now sitting on a 2.82 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and a 141/45 K/BB ratio. He'll take on the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday next. Wed, Sep 17, 2014 10:19:00 PM

Alex Cobb brought a no-hitter into the eighth inning, but was left with a no-decision as the Rays suffered a walk-off loss against the Yankees on Thursday.

Cobb lost his no-hit bid with one out in the eighth inning when Chris Young doubled to right-center. The right-hander's night ended there, and Brad Boxberger promptly allowed his inherited runner to score on a Martin Prado home run. Over 7 1/3 innings, Cobb yielded just the one hit while walking two and striking out four. He has pitched wonderfully in the second half, now sporting a 1.26 ERA over his last 11 starts. Cobb will face the Yankees again in his next start, which will occur at home on Tuesday. Thu, Sep 11, 2014 10:23:00 PM

Moore, who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery threw all fastballs during the session. He threw his changeup on flat ground on Monday, so it's likely just a matter of time before he incorporates the pitch into his bullpen sessions. The young left-hander is currently on track for a return around June.

McGee is currently working his way back from arthroscopic surgery in December to remove a loose body from his elbow. He's slowly progressing with his throwing program and the Rays expect him to begin the season on the disabled list, but he could be ready by late April or early May if all goes well.
